ESPIONAGE: FBI agent charged with acting as agent of China.

A veteran FBI electronics technician – who had top secret clearance – was charged by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s office on Monday with acting as an agent of China.

The man was identified as Kun Shan Chun and also went by “Joey Chun,” according to the official complaint. He was expected to plead guilty, Reuters reported.

Chun, born in China, began working for the FBI in 1997. Chun’s duties with the FBI included “accessing sensitive and, in some instance, classified information.”

Chun is charged with four counts of working to “falsify, conceal, and cover up by trick, scheme, and device a material fact.” He allegedly did not disclose his ties to foreign organizations and individuals in a written questionnaire submitted to the FBI for his security clearance, and did not disclose to the FBI that he made contact with “foreign nationals during a trip to Europe.”

The criminal complaint against Chun was unsealed Monday, but dated March 2016.

The charges against him came too soon for Chun to mount the new Hillary Defense.
